Agent Carter season 1, episode 4, "The Blitzkrieg Button"-Synopsis-Peggy and Jarvis show up for a special delivery that ends up being none other than Howard Stark himself.-Not as surprising as it probably should have been.-In order to keep Howard hidden from the SSR, who are totally onto him, Peggy smuggles him into the Griffith.-Is Howard being irresponsible or just playing things on the fly?-Dooley heads to Nuremberg to question a Nazi.-How do we feel about the tactics that the SSR uses to get info (cianide caps/beatings/lying, etc)-Dooley learns that Howard left the area after the massacre, and is even more suspicious of Mr. Stark-Jack Thompson AKA Chad Michael Murray is left in charge and he puts them all on notice that he's gonna be Mr. No Nonsense.-Sousa brings in a homeless man for questioning but doesn't get answers until Jack steps in.-Is this show a fair example of the time or is it a little over-the-top?-Did Sousa need to get into the story behind his leg or was it a little much for the situation?-Howard asks Peggy to get one of his inventions, the Blitzkrieg Button, because it could be used to black out a city.-Peggy gets the item, but she doesn't believe Howard, so she presses the button and finds a vial of what we later learn is Steve Rogers' blood.-Howard and Peggy have (rather loud) words about his lying and the blood.-Why didn't Howard just tell Peggy the truth and ask her to rescue Steve's blood from the SSR?-Stan Lee cameo!-Natalie provides some Stan Lee fun facts.-The creepy blonde guy shows up to deliver flowers to Peggy as a ruse to get to her room, but is taken down by ninja Dottie.-Ariana totally called the Dottie is evil thing last week.-We are left with the magic typewriter clicking away... as Dooley looks on.-Favorite Scenes-Favorite Lines Listener Feedback:- We have a lot of Jack feelings, and we are definitely hoping to see growth out of him.- One listener would really like us to do Wildfire at some point.
